Although it looks like a hawk, it has narrow, angled wings. The structure of its feet and claws is so peculiar that it has been placed in its own subfamily, the Pandioninae.
Unlike other raptors, the Osprey has four equal toes. The outer one is reversible, enabling the bird to seize its prey with two toes pointing forwards and two pointing backwards.
